DELICIOUS POMME DE TERRE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the potato fries on a roasting tray. Coat generously in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
A SIDE OF SALAD
In a bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the radish rounds, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside for serving.
GROOVY GRAVY
In a small bowl, combine the cornflour and 5ml of water. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the grated garlic and fry for 1 minute, shifting constantly. Add 100ml of water, the beef stock, the rub, and the Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the loosened cornflour and stir until thickened. Remove from the heat. Just before serving, gently reheat over a low heat.
CARAMELISATION STATION
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 7-9 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) to caramelise it further. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
BRINGING HOME THE BACON
Return the pan to a medium high heat. When hot, add the bacon slices and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and crispy. Drain on paper towel and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
BON APPÉTIT!
Make a bed of the fries and sprinkle over the quartered bocconcini balls. Pour over the gravy and top with the caramelised onion and bacon pieces. Garnish with the sliced spring onion and serve the salad on the side. A decadent dinner is served, Chef!
